Instead of ranting about something useless I'm just gonna give you the disclaimer and go on with the story.

Aion: That's new…

Furyfaux: -knocks him out with a dictionary-

Chrno: -sweatdrops- Furyfaux does not own Chrono Crusade or anything else for that matter.

Furyfaux: On with the story!

Chapter 2: Devil's Child

Clouds covered the sky as small droplets of water fell onto the black road. Chrno stared out the car window watching them fall, a faint smile on his face. Maybe now I'll be able to find out about my parents…and why I'm alone. He thought about this the on the way to the Order.

Remington broke the awkward silence.

"Why do those boys back at the orphanage torment you?" It was a half-brained question but the quietness was getting to him.

Chrno looked up from the window, never making eye contact with him.

"I…I don't know…it might be because of how I look or maybe because I'm shy…" He shrugged his shoulders slightly. He wasn't much of a talker. He was only partially shocked by this. He figured that maybe he got his timid ness from his mother, but his father was a different story…

His train of thought was broken when the red-bricked church came into view. He pulled infront of the building then braked to a stop. A bright smile, despite the rain, lit up his face. "Well here we are! The Magdalene Order. Lets get your things and hurry before we get soaked."

Chrno only nodded.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"ROSETTE!" A girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes tore down the hallway, running for her life as Sister Kate chased after her. "THAT'S THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK YOU'VE CAUSED DAMAGE! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE PAYING JUST TO FIX EVERYTHING?" Sister Kate was catching up fast.

Dang, how fast IS she anyway! But before Rosette could think up an answer, she ran into someone and knocked the bags out of his hands. Rosette sat on the ground rubbing her head from the impact. "Owww…." She opened her eyes to see Father Remington standing there, holding some duffel bags. A small figure ran behind him, but before she could see who it was Sister Kate finally caught up. She put her hands on her knees and started gasp for air.

"F-Finally…g-got…you…" She said in-between breaths. When she finally stopped she did a double take seeing the Father standing there. "Goodness Ewan, you scared me! Well, I'm glad your back. Do you have the boy?" As she said this the child poked his head out from his hiding place behind Remington. Rosette stared at him. He had red eyes, long purple hair tied back in a messy braid, pointed ears, and…were those claws! He looked about her age (A/N Rosette is 12 in this fic ok?), but why did he look so scared?

"Rosette, this is your new partner, Chrno." He moved out of the way for her to see Chrno fully. "He's cute…" As soon as she said this she covered her mouth, a blush crept up on her. The same was for Chrno except his was blushing harder.

Remington just smiled at the two. Happiness glowed of him like a very bright lamp.

Kate on the other hand was annoyed, irritated, sweaty, and tired. She cleared her throat and began to speak: " Well I'm glad introductions are over; Chrno we need to speak to you about something…" She looked at Rosette, then she added: "…Privately." Rosette pouted. She hated it when she was left out of all the action. She glared daggers at Sister Kate then turned her head around when she heard her name being called.

"Rosette!"

A boy that looked about Chrno's age ran up to Rosette huffing. He had short blonde hair blue (A/N I think…) eyes. They could almost pass for twins if he didn't look so young.

"Sister come on! Remember? We have kitchen duty today." He grabbed her arm gently and started to drag her away when she pulled back her arm.

"I know, I know Joshua. But I have a new partner! See his name's Chrno. Cool huh!" She pointed towards the blushing boy. Joshua looked at where her finger was pointing then smiled at him. Rosette knew this was her cue to go, so she turned around and headed towards the kitchen with her semi-look alike.

Chrno watched them off then was leaded into a large office. He sat down in one of the chairs as did Father. Kate sat in the chair behind a big desk that looked like hers. She folded her hands on desk and began to speak once more:

"There are so many things to tell you but sadly I cannot tell you them all. I can tell you that there was a very special reason as to why the Order adopted you but never took you in. That reason is that you are very powerful. Even when you were just an infant you the ability to freeze time." Chrno looked lost…very lost. "Let me explain dear child, you are a demon. Your father was what demons called a sinner. He escaped from his world, Pandrimonia, to our world. He then meet your, mother who was not a demon but an angel."

"When she became pregnant with you, that's when she admitted she was not on of his kind. Your father became angry with this because she told him she was a demon. After this she fled. Only a couple weeks later she gave birth to you. He soon found out about you then sent her a letter stating that if he ever got the chance he would kill both of you. Your mother not knowing what to do, she took her ribbon and sealed it with a very powerful spell that blocked your demonic aura from him. Then she left you on the steps of an orphanage and fled. That is why you couldn't come with us then because if he ever found where you were you would be dead."

She let it sink in while she took a sip of her tea. Chrno just sat there staring at his hands. "But…why is it now that you've taken me away?"

Kate gulped down some of her tea. "There have been some accounts of demonic activity around that area and we think it was some of your father's henchmen. Not wanting to risk you being caught, we brought you here where you will learn to control your demonic and angelic powers." At the last part she smiled at him.

But one question (or two) buzzed through his mind. "W-What were my parent's names?" He looked up staring at the sister hopeful she would answer.

"Your mother's name was Mary while your father's was…"

"…Aion." Father Remington finished her sentence.

Nothing but the sound of birds chirped and Rosette's yelling could be heard outside the office window.
